Supreme Court denies appeal on CT campaign finance law

On June 28 the US Supreme Court denied the petition for a writ of certiorari on Green Party of CT v. Lenge, effectively upholding
discrimination against minor parties in public financing of election campaigns. We will continue to think through our options, but this is
a serious disappointment. We must continue to fight to open up the two-party system to competition.

Background: The American Civil Liberties Union, the CT Green Party, and the CT Libertarian Party filed a lawsuit in 2006
against the discriminatory terms of the state's Citizen Election Program.
